  It depends on whose definition you use with respect to the CIO/CTO role. In my experience, CIOs are typically more focused on the internal IT infrastructure, keeping it secure, running smoothly, etc., (i.e. an more inward facing almost operational role), whereas a CTO should be outward facing looking and building technological advantage for the firm (i.e. a more outward facing commercial role). However, I've seen it argued both ways. I'd be interested to hear what others think on the differences in the CIO and CTO roles.

    From what I have seen, a lot of [smaller?] banks don't even have CTOs (including the one I worked at), just CIOs which ultimately fulfilled that role. They might have VPs of Technology though (usually along with some other role, such as CIO). Unfortunately, the distinction is usually lost on me too.
